Let me ask you something — how many people are you following that don’t follow you back?
If you’ve been on Twitter for a while, the answer is probably: too many.
You follow someone because you like their tweets. Maybe you want to connect, support, or just stay in the loop. But then days, weeks, even months go by — and nothing. No follow back. Just silence.
And the worst part?
You don’t even notice it happening.

Why Does This Even Matter?
At first, it doesn’t feel like a big deal.
But over time, your timeline gets messy, your follow-to-follower ratio becomes totally unbalanced, and you’re left following accounts that don’t engage with you at all.
Here’s what I realized:
- I was following hundreds of people who didn’t follow me back.
- Many of them didn’t even tweet anymore.
- And my feed was filled with stuff I didn’t care about.
So I decided to clean things up.
But since I’m someone who manages Twitter entirely from my iPhone, that was easier said than done.

The Manual Way? Forget It.
If you’ve ever tried to unfollow people manually from your phone, you know it’s a pain:
➡️ There’s no easy way to see who’s not following you back.
➡️ You have to go to each profile one by one and check.
➡️ Then hit the unfollow button, go back, repeat, repeat, repeat.
It’s slow, frustrating, and honestly just not realistic if you’re following more than 100 people.
That’s when I knew I needed help — and I found it in Circleboom.
Circleboom: The Smarter Way to Unfollow Non-Followers
I’ve used Circleboom before to delete old tweets and retweets, so I already trusted it. But I had no idea how good it was for unfollowing people not following back — until I tried it.
Circleboom is an official enterprise partner of X (formerly Twitter), which means it’s 100% safe and works directly within Twitter’s rules.
And the best part?
It has a fully functional iOS app, so I did everything from my phone — no need to log in on desktop or use complicated tools.
Here’s what Circleboom helped me do:
✅ Instantly see who wasn’t following me back
✅ Filter the list by influence, activity, or how long ago I followed them
✅ Unfollow them in bulk with a few simple taps
It even let me keep verified or important accounts that I still wanted to follow, regardless of whether they followed back.
